Sheffield reports on activist workshop

By Munisha on Tue, 1 Jul, 2014 - 14:18Mark Wells writes from Sheffield, where it turns out BAM is not over after all, as they still have one event to go!

“We had the ‘Positive and Effective Activism’ event yesterday for BAM, which went very well. There were eight of us there, which I was delighted with. We had a really good, and at times moving, discussion about what motivates us as activists (or potential activists). Quite a few people there were very interested in...

Originally conceived of by the Network of Buddhist Organisations UK as a nationwide day of British pan-Buddhist social action in 2012, Buddhist Action Month grew to a month in 2013...

UK Buddhist Action Month begins

By Munisha on Mon, 2 Jun, 2014 - 12:59The UK’s Buddhist Action Month (BAM) began yesterday, with Buddhist groups all over the UK - and even in Stockholm and Essen too - beginning a month of talks and activities celebrating Buddhist social action.
